Interlocking timber connections that are steel-free and adhesive-free are uncommon in
modern construction, but the necessity to maintain cultural heritage alongside the rise in …

Moment-rotation behavior of three types of beam-to-column connections intended for
laminated bamboo structures are presented:(a) conventional bolted connections with slotted …

Reliability and structural safety are key aspects in the design of timber structures. Notches at
the support considerably reduce the load-carrying capacity of glued laminated (glulam) …

This study investigates the impact of various notch corner shapes on the load-bearing
capacity of timber components of timber chocks as one of standing support systems in …

This paper presents the test results of three 1/2-scaled Chinese traditional mortise-tenon
jointed beam-column frames, initially loaded to damage and retrofitted by use of self-tapping …

This study focuses on quantifying the impact of various factors on the numerical assessment
of notched timber beam bearing capacity using the VCCT technique. Considering mode I as …

Timber is an extremely versatile and relatively inexpensive natural material. It is widely used
in the construction of timber structures in Australia. An interesting feature is that girders used …

Many bridges built during the colonial times in Australia have timber girders as load
transferring elements and they are still in service with increased traffic loads and consistent …

The cutting force is an energetic effect of splitting material, and might be considered from a
point of view of modern fracture mechanics. Forecasting of the shear plane angle in cutting …

The work of wooden structures for complex types of stress-strain state, in particular oblique
bend, is analyzed. It is substantiated, when there is oblique bend and in what structures. The …
